@ChikiTIKI thank you and LOL! I think TMI and TTC go hand in hand! I hope your bug doesn't get to bad, rest up and take it easy xx

@LondonKez thank you! I'm not gonna lie, it's been bliss not temping! I had a little stress because I wasn't sure if I had O'd or not but nothing compared to the anxious bad sleeping coz of the temping. If you're very regular I would stop after 3-4 cycles because you know when you O.

Spotting a tiny bit still. Still brown. Still no AF.
Might be a long night ladies.

ChikiTIKI · 22/10/2018 21:20

Happy birthday @Carastarchild!

Good luck for the morning @Lottie. Sounds like you're having a much better time not temping. That's great. Being relaxed helps a lot I think. Thinking of you as you're waiting to test! Xxx

BLS1983 · 22/10/2018 21:32

Evening, thought I would join if that's ok. Becs cycle 11 ttc #2

BLS1983 · 22/10/2018 21:34

Oh and haven't a clue how many days past ovulation. Tests say neg, EWCM 4 days after last period and spotting for last 5 days 🙄.

BLS1983 · 22/10/2018 21:38

...sorry app says bfp due 4th Nov but I think it's gone awol!! 😂

Rachael321 · 22/10/2018 23:30

Happy birthday@Carastarchild!

Wishing you luck for the morning@Lottie!

Just looked at dates again and fertile week is predicted to be the week before my birthday and bfp the week after my birthday! No birthday drink for me! But that's the least of my worries if I get my bfp itl be a late birthday present!

LottieB87 · 23/10/2018 08:37

Spotting was still continuing but less last night.
Sooooo this morning I tested.

BFP!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it!! 5th cycle, first baby! I've never been pregnant before so this is totally weird! I haven't told DP yet as he was fast asleep this morning and didn't know I was testing... eeeeeeeeeeek!! I'll come home tonight with a digital.

I'm just happy to know I'm fertile, I know it's early days.

I had no symptoms at all really except the spotting that started at 12dpo. Implantation must have been earlier than that though, it's a strong positive!

Must have really helped taking a break from temping!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

@lottieB87 congratulations!!! So pleased for you!! Xx

LottieB87 · 23/10/2018 09:21

@Rachael321 thank you! Grin

LondonKez · 23/10/2018 10:09

OMG!!! Ahhhhhh!!!! Congratulations @LottieB87!! Look at that line!!! I am delighted for you 💖💖💖💖💖

LondonKez · 23/10/2018 10:24

And also, if no BFP for me this cycle, I'm going to follow your advice and stop temping @LottieB87. That will be 3 cycles which is probably enough for me to determine that I'm ovulating. I've run out of OPKs and preseed, so we've decided not to reorder anything and just see how we get on x

LottieB87 · 23/10/2018 11:54

@LondonKez thank you!!
Yes, if you're regular and usually ovulate within the same 2-3 day window (for me it's been either CD 11 or CD 12 the whole time I've been temping) then you should definitely give yourself a rest. I estimated a fertile window of earliest O-3 through to latest O+1 which for me was about a week. We put in in our calendars. We only DTD twice in that window (which I was going to give DP an earful about when AF came!!).

Temping is great and has helped but is stressful. Definitely take a break. I hope you get your BFP really soon! I'll be checking!!

MrsNK · 23/10/2018 13:05

@lottieB87 What amazing news, congratulations!!! 😊

BLS1983 · 23/10/2018 13:08

@LottieB87 huge congratulations. Wishing you very happy and healthy pregnancy xx

I am currently spotting since Thursday and feeling nauseas. Had a 42 day cycle last month with 36 day cycles previous to that. If I'm pregnant this cycle I would have dropped back to pre 1st baby cycle of 28 days and ovulated around day 11 which was mega early but had EWCM then too. I'm in month 11 or 12 of trying. Sorry for making that about me 🙈

Huge congratulations again and enjoy telling dp xx

Carastarchild · 23/10/2018 13:18

Lottie 🎉🎉🎉 OMG! I'm absolutely over the moon for you 🤗⭐🌟🤗 What a beautiful strong line 💜 Fabulous start to our BFP wonderland 🌟

Ah, @BLS1983, I know how you feel. I'm also cycle 11, though my cycles aren't as long. They've been getting shorter which worried me, but my LP is still 12 days which is apparently (and thankfully!) still within the timeframe for implantation to happen successfully. Fingers crossed this is our month too x

BLS1983 · 23/10/2018 17:40

@LondonKez fingers crossed for us both hun. Just seen your bfp is due a few days after mine and they are both going to be positive. We have waited long enough :-)

LottieB87 · 23/10/2018 18:10

Thanks everyone for the lovely messages Grin

@Carastarchild looking forward to seeing yours soon!

@LondonKez 12 days is definitely plenty for implantation!

@BLS1983 I hope you don't have to wait too much longer xx

Carastarchild · 23/10/2018 18:11

Ladies just finished work, so bear with me! We have just had our first BFP in our Winter Wonderland...you know the old coinage...things come in three's Smile

Can't wait to see the digital Lottie...eeekkk!

Chiki I hope you and your little one are both feeling better today.

Rachael thank you for the birthday wishes. I actually had a lovely evening x

Chiki and London thank you for the birthday wishes! My DH bought me a bottle of prosecco Grin. I am 5 dpo so I don't know if I will crack it open...I could always wait and comfort myself if AF shows up, or give it to DH if I end up getting a BFP.

Lottie thank you lovely lady! Not long now..another 9 days.... Halo I might test 12 dpo if I don't have spotting! We need a list of tww symptoms that you experienced that we can cling to until we get our BFP! Grin

Will update stats x
